And what are the uses for the thing ? Are you going to pull skiers, do overnight trips, need to dash across the water at 50mph ? Carry 15 bikini clad babes ? My Suzuki outboard has a 6 year warranty BTW; they are rapidly gaining market share and reliable as all hell.
With just me and the wife and occasionally 3-4 other adults cruising - we got by with a lot less and smaller boats depreciate less dramatically
Lots of quality advice from this guy's channel:
